Answer to Question 1

The definition is broad to be as encompassing as possible to try to protect investors in as many ways from as many different people as possible. Recently, the U.S. Supreme Court has excluded only an employer pension plan in which employees are not required to make contributions from the definition of securities.

Answer to Question 2

Betty could try an intrastate offering if her business will remain in one state. She could also try a short-form registration. Or she could try Regulation D. Rule 504 fits if she registers the offering in her state. If she wants to limit investors, she could try a 505 or 506 offering. She has several options and need not do a full-blown SEC registration.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
